Weekend Wishlist: 9 fashion, beauty and homeware picks from our shopping team
Share:
Out of everything we browse, bookmark and add to our carts each week, only a handful make it onto our Weekend Wishlist — a curated selection of beauty, fashion, and homeware finds that have caught our shopping team's eye. Whether it's a game-changing skincare staple or a home essential that brings a little joy, it compiles everything we're lusting after — or have tried and loved. This week, we're embracing subtle luxuries and little pick-me-ups to brighten the season. There's something here for everyone, from Dusk's dreamy off-pink dinnerware, ideal for elevating your Valentine's Day tablescape, to Neom's limited edition rose candle, designed to help you unwind after a long day.
If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe for spring, we've got you covered there too, with colourful knitwear picks and celebrity-approved high street finds, like Frankie Bridge's dreamy River Island co-ord.

So, whether you're shopping for a treat-yourself moment or simply looking for inspiration, here are the pieces that our shopping writers Lauren and Bethan can't stop thinking about. Whenever Neom launches a new product, it immediately gets added to my wishlist (the new mini pod diffuser is already pride of place on my bookshelf). Naturally, I was beyond excited when the wellness brand's limited-edition rose candle landed on my doorstep.
As with all Neom candles, It's All Rosy is crafted from 100% naturally derived wax and infused with a beautiful blend of essential oils, including rose, orange and geranium. The result is a light, floral, yet deeply calming scent, making it the perfect companion for winding down after a long day. I've been lighting it in the evenings, and it instantly creates a sense of serenity and relaxation — ideal for setting the mood before bed — and it fills my whole room without overpowering it.
If you're more of a diffuser person, you'll be pleased to know that Neom has also launched a matching reed diffuser. Or, if you want the ultimate self-care experience, you can opt for the gift set, which includes both. Shop here. Dusk has always been my go-to homeware brand—and as a former interior writer for Good Housekeeping and House Beautiful, I know when a homeware brand is worth shouting about. The retailer is known for being affordable, and while you might wonder if the low price tag translates to high quality, I can vouch that it does. I already have Dusk bedding and some bedroom furniture, which look far more expensive than their reasonable price tag suggests.
With that in mind, I was already expecting to be impressed by Dusk's latest launch: dinnerware. The Balos stoneware set is understated yet elegant, with its subtle pink hue inspired by the pink sand beaches of Balos. It'll make the perfect pick for a Valentine's Day meal at home. I'm opting for the dinner plates, but if you want a complete set, there are matching side plates, pasta bowls, mugs and more. Even better, they're all on sale, and you can bag an extra 15% discount with the code EXTRA15.
As a pale girl, I can spend hours in the sun and never change colour. For that reason, fake tan is my best friend — especially as winter fades into spring. It helps me maintain a healthy glow while actually being healthy (aka staying out of the sun). Lately, I've been turning to Skin & Tan's Face Tanning Drops for a gradual, natural-looking tan without the dreaded tangoed effect. Within a week of use, my face has developed a subtle, sun-kissed glow that is easy to maintain.
It's completely customisable, too. Add three to five drops into your moisturiser for a medium tan or six to eight if you prefer a deeper bronze. I have naturally straight hair, but it tends to get a little unruly unless I run a pair of straighteners through it. So, in my quest for smoother, sleeker locks, I recently tried Hask's Keratin Smooth Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner — and so far, so good.
Formulated with keratin, this duo helps minimise frizz and flyaways while jojoba seed oil nourishes and adds shine. The result is glossier, more manageable hair that doesn't need as much heat styling to behave. It smells gorgeous, too, with a fruity blend of lychee, apple, and melon. It's refreshing without being overpowering, and it lingers in my hair all day. The shampoo also lathers beautifully, making every wash feel like a luxurious, salon-worthy experience.
Calling all Love Island viewers and lovers of top notch beauty, Boots has launched its Boots x Love Island All Stars Beauty Box, which have historically sold out within days. This year, the box is said to be worth more than £240, but we worked it out to be valued at £256.49, which means beauty fans essentially get £200 worth of premium products for free. Inside, shoppers will find 15 villa must-haves, 10 of which are full-sized, with each item averaging out at £3.66 as part of the deal.
